"During China's infamous Tang Dynasty, a time awash with luxury yet littered with deadly intrigues and fallen royalty, betrayed Princess Ai Li flees before her wedding. Miles from home, with only her delicate butterfly swords for defense, she enlists the reluctant protection of a blue-eyed warrior.... Battle-scarred, embittered Ryam has always held his own life at cheap value. Ai Li's innocent trust in him and honorable, stubborn nature make him desperate to protect her--which means not seducing the first woman he has ever truly wanted...."--P. [4] of cover.
A very strong heroine and an honorable hero, lots of action, and a sense of real love and respect between the characters. An enjoyable read! My only complaint is that things wrap up a little to neatly at the end to give the reader the romantic happy ending. Sorry, I just don't think of Emperors during the Tang Dynasty as benevolent and forward thinking when it came to women's rights.
